A 15-year-old North High School student is facing charges of malicious destruction of property over $250, two counts of assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and trespassing after he allegedly assaulted staff members Wednesday at the school.

The teen was involved in a fight Friday on Hamilton Street that an off-duty police officer witnessed. The student faces a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in that case, school officials said.

On Wednesday, the student went to the office so school officials could go over the disciplinary process with the student and his mother. The teen allegedly became agitated and left the building. He then tried to return, school officials said.

Worcester public schools School Safety Liaison Robert Pezzella and Assistant Principal John Creamer tried to calm down the teen, but instead the teen allegedly shoved them to the ground.
